Semimonthly maximum censuses of adults at the San Mateo () and Santa Cruz () complexes. There was a substantial decline in the mean number of animals at San Mateo in May and a marked increase in July (Table 1). There was no change in mean totals in May and June in Santa Cruz, but means declined slightly in July. This change occurred primarily in the adult component of the population (Table 1). Similar trends are apparent in maximum semimonthly counts (Figure 2). The mean numbers of adults stayed constant in May and June, dropping in July at Santa Cruz. A slightly different picture emerges when looking at semimonthly maximum numbers. There was a decline in maximum numbers of adults in the second half of June, with an increase in late July. The number of subadults did not change dramatically during the study period. Mean numbers declined slightly at San Mateo in May then increased in June. At Santa Cruz there was a continual increase from May to July. Numbers of seals peaked at Waddell in May and declined through July (Figure 4). The Ladder was not censused prior to May. Numbers at The Ladder peaked in the second half of July, when Waddell was at its lowest. Numbers of seals at Pebble Beach declined in March, and stayed low through the end of May, then rapidly increased in June. A maximum of 98 seals was counted in July. The remaining sites all had similar counts (approximately 20-25 seals) until the end of May, when maximum counts increased at Pescadero and decreased at China Cove and Pigeon Point. This trend continued through June, but in July Pescadero numbers Please note that these
